Hey guys! I'm making a new build soon and I want to make sure that everything is compatible, Like maybe I should get more wattage or something. Thanks!

The PSU is to small (budget Corsair) for the build. Better XFX550 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550s... or still better if you plan overclocking and want more headroom Seasonic 620 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s...
Everything else checks out.

I don't think increasing the speed of hard drive will increase gaming performance.

You are right, the difference is measurable in benchmarks but not noticeable.


Yeah when I get enough money I will get an ssd which, wont increase performance but should be quicker boot timing and installing things. Thanks for the reply!
